The April 1, Broome-Tioga BOCES TI Users Support Group will feature T^3instructor, Gene Olmstead demonstrating how to use the Cabri Jr GeometryApps on the TI 83/84 Graphing Calculators in the Algebra Classroom.

Come see some examples of how to make connections between Algebra andGeometry. We really can integrate the curriculum, not only with newproblems, but also enhancing old problems in new ways. Plane andCoordinate Geometry examples will be explored. Participants need noexperience, only a desire to learn new ways to use a calculator to showstudents Algebra and Geometry are not always two separate courses. Bringyour TI-83/84 to receive the Cabri Jr. Apps and files as well ashandouts.
